If 40% of a number is equal to two-third of another number, what is the ratio of first number to the second number.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

2:3 :: 6:x

=> 2/3 = 6/x
=> x = 18/2
=> x = 9

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let the original Salaries of Ravi and Sumit is 2x and 3x.

So as per question

\begin{aligned}
\frac{2x+4000}{3x+4000} = \frac{40}{57} \\
=> 57(2x+4000) = 40(3x+4000) \\
=> 6x = 68000 \\
=> 3x = 34000 \\

\text{ Sumit Salary =} 3x+4000 \\
34000 + 4000 = 38000

\end{aligned}

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Let A = 2x, B = 3x, C = 4x, then,
\begin{aligned}
\frac{A}{B} = \frac{2x}{3x} = \frac{2}{3} \\
\frac{B}{C} = \frac{3x}{4x} = \frac{3}{4} \\
\frac{C}{A} = \frac{4x}{2x} = \frac{2}{1} \\

=> \frac{A}{B}:\frac{B}{C}:\frac{C}{A} \\
= \frac{2}{3}:\frac{3}{4}:\frac{2}{1} \\
= 8:9:24


\end{aligned}

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
a:b = 2:3 \\
b:c = 5:8 = (5*\frac{3}{5} : 8*\frac{3}{5}) \\
= 3:\frac{24}{5} \\
a:b:c = 2:3:\frac{24}{5} \\
= 10:15:24 \\
b = 98*\frac{15}{49} \\
= 30
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let C = x. Then A = (x—20) and B = (x—40).
x + x - 20 + x - 40 = 120 Or x=60.
A:B:C = 40:20:60 = 2:1 :3.
B's share = Rs. 120*(1/6) = Rs. 20
